July 25 thru 30 Washington County Fair Washington County Fairgrounds 3000 Hwy PV, West Bend 262-677-5060 www.wcfairpark.com In small towns across America, County Fairs are usually the highlight of the summer. In Wisconsin, there's no event quite like a county fair. As a matter of fact, the Washington County Fair is the 3rd largest event in the state and is the single largest event in the county. But county fairs aren't just for rural farmers–and they've got a lot more to offer than carnival rides and rooster crowing contests. We offer Early Bird ticket prices, free parking and carnival specials to make this an affordable outing for the entire family. You can spend the entire day walking our 133 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, enjoy exhibits from local 4-H youth, sample food from a myriad of vendors or take a ride on the ever-popular Ferris wheel. We also feature three nights of national recording artist entertainment which can be viewed from our state-of-the-art Silver Lining Amphitheater with a general admission fair ticket. Reserved seating is also available through our website. Pick a day, maybe two and start planning for the annual Washington County Fair. – AUGUST 2023 – August 2 thru 5 Maxwell Street Days Savoring Thyme 248 N.
